So if I move to Alabama tomorrow (due to a fresh bout of insanity), then the Confederate Flag becomes part of my heritage?
Lol...stop it.
Strange, I always thought heritage was more than where you move to. I always thought it was more of what your family is derived from. I don't think moving to Alabama will make you a Confederate. I don't think it would be a good fit for you anyway...But, I will start looking for real estate for you on my next trip through Mobile if you like.
I'm sorry but you can't split the Confederates from what the "Union" did to the Natives.... both the North and the South own that since they were of the same Union when those things were done. In fact most of the support against some of the acts towards the Native Americans (such as the Cherokee) was centered in the North in New England.
In fact I can split out the Confederates from what the union did. At the time the atrocities against the American Indians, the CSA didn't exist. It was ALL the union army.
I personally would never fly the Confederate flag, as my family has been northerners since they arrived in "the US" in 1632. My oldest son, who is a country music fan, wanted a Confederate flag to hang in his college dorm when he was a freshman. After a little discussion, he agreed not to do so. The rebel flag is not a part of our heritage (quite the opposite), thus my opposition.
However, liberals never seem to mind Mexicans illegals in the US flying the Mexican flag (keep in mind we were in a war with them in the past as well).
Further many liberals carried North Vietnamese flags when "protesting" the Vietnam war.
Former Confederates helped build the nation. How much did Mexico or the VC /NVA ever do for America?
Wake me up when the Mexican or Vietnamese flag is flying over state capitols, sanctioned by the state legislatures.
Lefties love Che, Lenin, Mao and Pol Pot who were the world's greatest mass murderers.
If killing millions and millions is perfectly fine for the left, why does one quibble and fuss over the Confederacy, who were represented by educated Americans who pined for states rights?
Answer- liberals LOVE central government and the suppression of rights by a strong central authority. A few million lives are nothing when the objectives of the state are at stake!
Libs- Read "Animal Farm", "1984", and "Farenheit 451". You are on the side of evil, suppression of individual liberties, and the tyranny of the state.
Simply take a look at the parallels of the Taliban and ISIS vs the American Liberal- both are hell bent on imposing thier views on the populace, destroying historical icons, and suppressing dissenting views. Fascists come from all stripes. Calling oneself "liberal" does not immediately confer one wed to the prospects of liberty. In fact, the opposite is true.
Liberalism = Fascism
Hey now... Animal Farm was one of my favorite books to read, but by no means am I liberal.
Che personally killed about 10 people and had another 55 executed in prison. Where are you getting your info? 20,000 people were killed during the revolution and many more were tortured in the fight to rid their country of the Batista dictatorship. Batista was the mass murderer.
Gee...is that all?
His death toll exceeds Manson, Berkowitz, and Roofe.
"these illegal aliens and their supporters have gone too far. They took down the US flag, raised a Mexican flag in its place, then threw rocks and bottles at the police as they tried to take the Mexican flag down."
Man, you really went to the ends of the earth to find that. And it doesn't even apply. Illegals putting a flag up at a post office in a protest =/= state sponsorship of racist symbology. Not even close. But I imagine you spent quite a bit of time looking for that weak deflection.
